Don't Understand The Appeal Of Christianity To People

In my case it was more of a chance to spend extra time with grannie, while she told me stories about how much Jesus loves me. I also believed Santa and the Easter Bunny were real at the time, so stories about talking donkeys and getting a bunch of animals on a boat and someone spending three days inside a whale weren't so far fetched.

I don't understand why other people don't just grow out of it though the same way they grow out of belief in Santa Claus as I did, even with the child indoctrination. The whole thing is so unrealistic and completely contradicted by evidence.

Why didn't child indoctrination ever work on me?  Dodgy
